So the Trails Collection makes it way more affordable for members. Remember, some of those $20/night fee properties normally charge over $100 a night for the general public – and up to $300/night in highly desirable places like the Florida Keys. But there are a handful of ‘premium’ parks that do charge a fee of $20 a night. Most of these Trails Collection / Encore parks also allow you to stay with no nightly fee. There are well over 100 Encore RV resorts nationwide, so it’s excellent value.

Whether you have a basic Thousand Trails Zone Camping Pass or one of the upgraded Thousand Trails Memberships (such as Elite, Elite Connections, and the newest Adventure Membership), you can stay in ALL of the three ‘regular’ Thousand Trails designated campgrounds for NO nightly fee.
